In the second half, play was evenly matched to begin with, highlighting the Badgers improving fitness as the ball was played up and down the length of the pitch.

Buxton won a number of short corners but the defence proved too good as an Emily Bradbury shot was on target but deflected away.

A noticeable difference this week was despite the Badgers having no adult players, their great response to the two adult players in the opposition.

They were determined not to lose the ball and they all improved in running the ball down on the occasions it was lost. Passing accuracy was also noted.

They kept their focus and were rewarded in the final few minutes, when Kai Gilbride played a ball into the D, Finlay Jackson picked it up and refused to back down in a one on one tussle with the goal keeper, winning the match with the goal.
